Finally a series I've been waiting for. I've been studying to make my own raspi home server and having a struggle safely deploying it online without compromising my home network. Hope you delve into this and topics about wireguard or reverse proxy.
thanks Don. It took me a wile to figure things out. I watched all the parts many times before I got things working, but its one of the best guides for Docker on raspberry Pi. I am a newbie with very basic knowledge, but your detailed explanations were very helpful.
Gonna follow this series as much as I can! I just recently setup my RPI 4 with a qbittorrent server and a pihole dns server and connected a 3TB drive to it. Finding out about portainer and shellinabox makes life already so much easier. Can't wait to see what more you got up your sleeve!
Grandpa Bob here in Orlando ! You Rock! your Video is awesome. Very easy to follow ! thanks Good Job 5 Stars ! thanks ..I see a light at the end of the tunnel and for once it's not a train !
What a coincidence ! , Even I was inspired by that reddit post and decided to start hosting on pi !!, will be following the videos and eagerly waiting for upcoming videos .
I assume this is a RPi4 with 8GB right? That would be a cool thing to add you your descriptions on your video's. Exactly what device/equipment you use in the video. Just a thought. Love your work.
Had a go at this with the new Pi Zero 2 quad core over clocked to 1.2ghz and is running well with these apps "Shell-in-a-box","Portainer","Nginx Proxy manager","Speed-Test Tracker","Transmission Vpn","DeeMix","JellyFin","Woogle "and "Grocy". So far runs well for the power of these boards stream music and flim fine and also plan to ad pi-hole and add a couple of more apps if the ram on these small SBC can handle it. Hooked up to a 160GB SSD and 250GB SSD. Very impressed with the new Pi Zero 2 now its quad core ,this is a great little lower powered server unit ,perfect for people with cost concerns on running a home server. ...My next plan is to run it of renewable energy , couple of battery bank and solar charger. I will see how it goes.
Thnx, and nice timing ;D! I'm setting up a server / servers to run in docker to handle a few things. So this series should be very helpful. Can't wait to see what is next!
Thank you for these excellent tutorials. I followed the instructions for the Docker and Portainer installations. How do I permanently remove your pi-hosted banner on the Portainer installation?😅
Thanks for informative series. In part 1, you image to an SSD/HD then later resize the data partition. Please advise how to or what tool you are using to resize it.
I've been waiting for this type of video for ages :-) I followed along and got this all nicely setup. Looking forward to the followiing parts so that I can follow along and learn :-)
great series. I'd love to see a Wordpress episode that sets up Wordpress / Redis / Postfix on the pi. similar to easyengine config but running on the PI.
Thanks a ton for solving a huge problem of mine. I have an extra windows phone, its an old model. Its utterly useless coz all the important apps are paid and unavailable for free on the internet. Shellinabox solved the problem. Now I can use it with all my rpi projects.
This is so good!! Looking forward to the second part. Did u consider installing OMV5 and docker/portainer on top of that ?? So you can have an NAS manager as well. Also do all of the apps run on 32 bit? There is no requirements for 64bit ??
Ehhh no major worries about 32bit vs 64bit. If you know what a Virtual Machine in, think of a container as a very very tiny Virtual Machine. Each container has a base(Operating System) that is selected by the maintainer of the container. Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, are all possible bases and Alpine is popular for having a smaller footprint. So essentialy with each container you are running a very small version of the OS and only the files needed to run the application. Edit: I missed that he used a 32bit OS, that could complicate things, but I don't think he cares.
Any reason you didn't use the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, other than the RPi foundation still treats it as experimental? Other distros offer stable 64-bit versions and it looks like there's a 64-bit docker to go with it.
Could you do an updated version of this please, I would like to figure out how to setup up Portainer on pi 4 with Sonarr, Radarr, Plex and if possible Petio or Overseerr, love you videos dude!
oh oh oh, this is awesome. This series really a very practical for day to day use and learn a lot of thing about docker. I am newbie in the docket world, and I found that really useful and powerful environment. Beside working on RPi4, this knowledge sure can apply on other platforms which support docker. Which Linux distro you will recommend to someone like me, a newbie that want to use an old laptop to run docker? thx a lot.
Really appreciate the attention to detail and the step by step instructions given in this series. One quick question though, I also want my pi4 to act as a NAS with OMV, is it possible to do this alongside an OMV installation?
I have been running this setup, not ideal (since I'm not experienced) but latest OMV does have docker and portainer installation instructions from plugins section. Only reason I'm using OMV is the ' simplicity' of mounting devices
this is by far the best raspberry pi series in existence. thank you so much! I have one question: I opted for a wireless connection when i first started, but now I want to use ethernet. I don't know how to configure this with a headless install. plugging in an ethernet cable doesn't automatically switch the connection to ethernet. What can I do?
Oh that could be an interesting series. I have my old Pi2 installed inside my NAS acting as one of two DNS but I consider to move my docker installations from the OMV NAS to the Pi with me replacing the Pi2 with a Pi4. Thing is, I just started myself to mess around with Docker and don't get it entirely yet, especially CLI usage is weird and complex for beginners.
Thanks, Eric. So much power in such a little package. One question - I noticed you're using the 32bit armhf instead of a 64bit aarch64 environment. Any specific reason behind that? I'm building with a combination of RPi 4/4GB and Pine64 RockPRO 64 SBCs.
Hi Don. Thank you so much for putting this series together. I am doing my best to follow along, but it's not going so good. im running Ubuntu desktop and don't know which docker to install. I have watched, paused, rewind, watch pause rewind so many times. it seems if I could just get the first parts installed, then I could add all the images I feel useful. could you redo the first vid, slowly, for dummies like me.?

What is next for this series? I'm anxious to see what else you're going to make. How much stuff can you actually put on RPi 4 anyway? It's not only how much RAM model has but there is limited CPU power as well.
Yeah, if he didn't use cat to show the contents of his bash scripts it would come off as sketch. He should've gone more in depth with the Docker and Portainer install processes instead of rushing through so people have an opportunity to learn
@@stayupthetree Looks like he's showing his learning process, more than trying to make a tutorial. Which I get... first getting into docker, most people start with docker run.
There seems to be a problem with your app template.. they don't open up after deploying them so I tried other templates from self-hosted and that works fine
This doesn’t work for me… I followed it exactly and Homer is not starting (logs are repeating, over and over: No configuration found, installing default config & assets Assets directory not writable. Check assets directory permissions & docker user or skip default assets install by setting the INIT_ASSETS env var to 0)
Hey Nova - Great series thank you - can I please ask a favour - can you add Part 1, 2 3 etc to this series, so I can follow along easily - Many Thanks Grant
I have been trying to use docker more here lately. I have been using compose also. I am excited for next episode in series. A pi server is a good new project. What is the cooler you are using on the pi?
Hello Don, This is a perfect series actually. But I have a question, I would like to build a swarm using this what considerations do I need to deploy master and 5 workers? I would expect that preparing this type of install would require a few extra steps. Thank you for your hard work this is awesome Thank you!!!
I'm about to invest in the hardware needed and I'm going to follow this series closely. However, I'm a bit foggy what hardware exactly is needed. Do I buy the regular Rpi 4B+ and a compute board or just a compute board and a IO board to that, please?
Excellent video, today is my first day with a Pi... I got all this up and running but then switch portainer to force HTTPS (thinking it would install a self signed cert). I've not lost access .. Any tips?
Failed to retrieve templates added @ 13:45 ??? Disregard, somehow I was looking at the wrong line on the video when I typed the link since I could not find a link posted here... Changed to the correct link and boom....
I don’t know anything about this but I’m going to get into whole series because I bought a pi some months ago but I haven’t even taken out the box. I do have some questions. I bought the Cana kit with fan…do I need to have the big fan on the video and also I have a lot of sata drives with enclosed cases, will this be enough to connect to the pi? I sub to your channel. Thanks
Please be sure to include a few sentences about what each server app does and its use case. I was a bit annoyed that you started talking about portainer before explaining what it does. However, you did circle back and explained its use.
Definitely not self explanatory, and he even miscategorizes it as a 'gui version of docker' when it is simply a docker management tool, or front end. Also says next time he is going over 'installing apps into portainer', also incorrect.
Hi I am new learning docker and portainer. I continue to have the same issue when installing an app (homer) there are no published ports listed in portainer. I cannot conect to the homer dash board. Any suggestions?
this is not working for me i get no error when running the command but when i go to raspberrypi.local:9000 the site cannot be reached ive tried going to the static ip of my raspberry pi IPADDRESS:9000 and nothing i fallowed your commands to the letter i dont know why its not working
Hi! I am very new to self hosting, I have an old laptop running ubuntu server, is following this series applicable for my ubuntu server or do you have a video that for that too? Thanks!
Looks like you flashed straight to an external storage and did not need to do any config to make the pi boot from it, is that correct? My past experience win creating external boot started with an internal SD card and this video suggests that can now be skipped.
Would i be able install Ubuntu on a NUC and then follow these instructions to automate the download and installation of Docker and Portainer? or install Raspberry Pi Lite on a NUC?
Finally a series I've been waiting for. I've been studying to make my own raspi home server and having a struggle safely deploying it online without compromising my home network. Hope you delve into this and topics about wireguard or reverse proxy.
I've been contemplating building a pi server or a few in the near future, will be following this series closely :)
awesome! episode 2 is already recorded and working on episode 3 right now =) i'm very happy about this series
@@NovaspiritTech Can't wait :)

your the first person to mention about shellinabox!! isn't it great!?!!
Litterly bought a new raspberry yesterday, then I stumble across this, amazing work! Will definitely be following!
looking forward to the next episodes in the series, awesome stuff!
This is great. I look forward to the series! "Hack till it hurts" oo I feel the pain. 😳😅
Looking forward to this series. I recommend you use "docker-compose up -d --build" instead of the bash scripts
I’ve done this a couple times but always used a 64bit Ubuntu Server. I’ve found it’s so much better than the 32bit OS Raspberry Pi OS.
Please get well and don't give up
Grandpa Bob here in Orlando ! You Rock! your Video is awesome. Very easy to follow ! thanks Good Job 5 Stars ! thanks ..I see a light at the end of the tunnel and for once it's not a train !
Can we have some new updates on this series? this was a great series
Thanks very much for this series!
That script of yours for installing portainer saved my bacon, thank you.

After a long journey through static ips not connecting to the internet, I'm ready to start following along. #homelab
Thank you for these excellent tutorials. I followed the instructions for the Docker and Portainer installations. How do I permanently remove your pi-hosted banner on the Portainer installation?😅
I'd like to know too!
Thanks for informative series. In part 1, you image to an SSD/HD then later resize the data partition. Please advise how to or what tool you are using to resize it.
Yes: Need to know how to resize pi partitions as the one made by imager, even on a large usb/hdd is too small. Great video BTW
I use my pie for plex. I want to try and do this project with you great start!

What OS are you using it looks very sleek?
this look insane, nice video
Any vids in the work on what portainer stacks are and what they do and can you add adguard to the slefhosted template if possible 🤔
is the current ./install_docker.sh broke.. it didn't add pi to docker

Pretty much unless your still running on a old rpi firmware, your pretty much good to go. I do have a video on how to upgrade the firmware if needed
@@NovaspiritTech My pi wont boot from SSD. I update the EEPROM. What is the Video you recommend?
What version of Docker compose does the Raspberry Pi use?
It looks like they’ve updated the x86 portainer to version 3 but not the arm version.
I always end up with a question in the back of my head about the file system and storage with this. Always. Bugged me for years..
So does this need to be updated for the 64bit version ?
Any reason for your using 32bit Raspberry OS rather than 64bit?
What about getting something like mopidy running so this server could play music anywhere?
Wow, very cool stuff... ;-)
